Fans feel aggrieved that Manchester United are pushing away season ticket holders with new rules that have rightly sparked anger among the fanbase.
Football clubs told fans they learned that the sport is nothing without fans during the COVID pandemic, but now we’ve been suddenly hit in the race by the reality of living in an age where we only deemed customers.
The Glazer family have been strangling the financial life out of Manchester United for the past 18-years, and they have been flogging tickets to tourists for astronomical prices despite the club ‘stepping up’ its attempts to prevent ticket touting.
Some fans feel they are the worst touts of all.
For next season onwards, fans will access their digital tickets via United’s official app, but the tickets will be locked to the device they are using. The QR codes that are scanned when entering the ground will be hidden until three hours before kick-off.
This is being trialed by a number of season ticket holders for the remaining home games (4) this term.
- Another new ticketing rule has seen United come under increasing pressure from fans, after being told they must attend 17 of the 19 home games in the 2024-25 campaign or risk losing their seat at Old Trafford.
